Credit points: 12.5
Coordinator: Dr Chris A Briggs
Prerequisite: Biology 600-101
Contact: 26 lectures (two 1-hour lectures per week) and 39 hours practical work (one 3-hour practical class per week)
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
By the end of this subject the student should:
- Comprehend the terminology of topographic anatomy; the principles relating to each of the following types of anatomical structure: skin, fascia and skeletal muscles, bones and joints, vessels, nerves and viscera; the organisation of the back and upper limb into regions and the trunk into cavities; the essential factual information regarding the specific anatomical structures which form the boundaries and contents of the back, thorax and upper limb; the applied anatomy of the back, thorax and upper limb.
- Develop observational and organisational skills to identify and interpret exposed anatomical structures and regions; communication skills (written and oral) to describe the normal structure of the back, thorax and upper limb; skills in the manipulation of anatomical structures (with dissecting instruments);
- Appreciate the common occurrence of anatomical variation; the scientific basis of knowledge of structure.
Content:
Terminology of topographic anatomy. Principles related to each type of anatomical structure; skin, fascia and skeletal muscles, bones and joints, vessels, nerves and viscera. Organisation back, thorax and upper limb into regions, and the specific structures forming the boundaries and contents of these regions. Applied anatomy of the back, thorax and upper limb.
Assessment:
A 2-hour written examination, a 40-minute practical examination at the end of the semester.
